okistar’s innovative and versatile
Cable Lighting Systems provide
uniform soft illumination. Their compact
profiles are easily incorporated into shallow
ceiling coves, under step nosings, and other
confined spaces. They are also a popular
choice in exposed applications to highlight
architectural details with distinct points of
light.
We offer an assortment of energy-efficient
LEDs in 2000K, 2500K, 3000K, 5000K and
four vibrant colors to complement the
environment. These long-lasting LEDs are
the best choice in low-heat applications and
locations subject to vibration. Two versions
of incandescent lamps are also available.
All of our Cable Lighting Systems are wired
in parallel. LEDs or lamps are individually
replaceable, and fixtures can be easily
trimmed on site to a precise length.
To add elegance or vibrant color, one of
Tokistar’s Cable Lighting Systems is sure to
get the job done right.
CT “Contour” Series
The flexible CT Series follows curves in
architectural designs to produce subtle
indirect lighting from within confined
spaces.

RC “Recess” Series
The RC Series profile directs light
down and across a 45° angle, making
it the ideal choice for indirect lighting
of step noses and under a variety of
cantilevered surfaces.
MC “Mini-Channel” Series
Our compact MC Series is the perfect
choice for applications within the grooves
of architectural elements, walls, ceilings,
and floors.
CR “Crescent” Series
The wide-angle profile of the CR Series is
designed for mounting in concealed or exposed
90° corners to illuminate shallow ceiling coves,
cabinets, shelves and toe-kicks.

LEDs
Highly Efficient LEDs
Tokistar’s solid-state LEDs consume only 0.2 Watts
each and have remarkable life ratings. They generate
very little heat and are easily dimmed on either
DMX or 0/1-10 VDC protocol.
Tokistar white LEDs are available in four color
temperatures. Our 2000K creates a very elegant
candlelight atmosphere. The 2500K and 3000K
do an outstanding job of emulating the warmth of
traditional incandescent light. The 5000K LED is
ideal for adding cool-white color.
Blue, green, red and amber LEDs create vibrant
color. Since LEDs can be removed easily from their
sockets, multiple colors in the same fixture can
create perfectly blended colors of indirect light.

Life for LEDs is defined as the time when lumen output depreciates
to 70% of its initial value. Actual lifetime may vary based upon
environmental conditions.

Incandescent Light Sources
Two styles of warm white incandescent lamps are
available for Cable Lighting systems. The CL-202 is the
standard selection, offering a good balance of 2.1 lumens
and a 2000K color temperature. Specify the CL-201 to
decrease the lumens and color temperature.

CT Series
T
he CTO “Contour” Series is extremely compact and flexible.
It is easily incorporated under shallow overhangs or within
very tight architectural details. The CTL Series includes a rigid
prismatic lens to magnify the light source for greater impact in
exposed linear applications.
CTO - 50 - 2000K
Design Guidelines
Series
Socket Spacing
For indirect applications without
the lens cover, 1.2” or 2” spacing
is recommended. In exposed
applications, the prismatic lens
spreads and magnifies the light so
more distant spacings can achieve
the desired effect. In this case,
spacing of 3”, 4” or 6” is best.

Since RC is designed for use as

produces the best effects. When
the fixture is placed close to the
reflective surface, such as under a
step nosing, we recommend 1.2”
spacing for a very uniform wash
of light.
